OK...here it goes...If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Would you want to be pretty, wise or rich? Is it a selfish thing that you would want to change?
Here is my wish I could change thing...I wish I had a great singing voice. My wide hips don't bother me, or the way that gravity has taken hold of my body. I just want to sing beautifully, and not sound like I am yodeling. (especially while singing something upbeat!)
Just wish I knew years ago what I know now. There would have been a lot less stupid things I would have done. Other than that, nothing. Six years ago, I met the "love of my life", but it took me wayyyyyyyy to many years of bad relationships before I got smart and met her.
I would make myself less sensitive and emotional. I don't mean I would be mean, I just hate the fact that I can cry over commercials and that when we watch a movie (even a friggin' disney movie) everyone turns to look at me, because, yes, I am crying. It doesn't do good for the complexion.
Maybe I'd make myself a little taller too....being the size of a hobbit doesn't get me far in the respect area when people think I'm the kids' sister instead of mother.
I would have done more with college & my career back in my twenties, and not have been so willing to chuck it for what I thought was "required" of me with my first marriage & his insecurities. Older & wiser... Hey! Since we're magically changing things - I'd like to go back to the age of 21 knowing then what I know now!!
Anyone ever see the movie Peggy Sue Got Married? (My favorite movie ever) I think it would be so cool to go back in time (for awhile) knowing what I know now.
Like your idea, Adream.

Do you get to go back in time with Nicolas Cage though???? LOL
I have to respectfully disagree with you though grammy. I've thought long and hard about that when the topic has been brought up over drinks, coffee, etc. with friends. Although it would be great to know then what we do now, I don't think we'd be who we are now if we could change those things. Making those mistakes and having those learning experiences are what has turned us into the people we are today. (Besides, then we really all would've grown up the way our mom's wanted and they'd have been right about everything and you just can't have your mom being right when you're a teen or young adult LOL). But I like juggling the idea around though.
I don't know about Nicholas Cage, but maybe I could finally win the heart of that boy I used to drool over?
I understand what you're saying, Pixie. You're right. That's why I said "for awhile." In the movie she doesn't really change anything--she just learns to have a greater appreciation for the life she has. That's what I got from the movie.
I know I'd still be the very shy and quiet little girl if I hadn't experienced what I have. I realize I'm stronger for those experiences. I wouldn't change all of them.
